Question

How did Gutenberg's printing press contribute to the spread of the ideas of scholars

Answer 1

It was a quicker and easier way to print books. Before then, books took years to write, and people were forced to study one book at a time. There was widespread illiteracy, since books were hard to come by. Now, more people could get their hands on reading material, and the fast printing process allowed scholars' ideas to be publicly presented immediately, instead of years afterwards.
